The DoDEA Educational Partnership Grant Program provide resources for local education agencies [LEAs] to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of the highly mobile military-connected students in their community. The Grant Program specifically provides resources to military-connected LEAs to develop and implement projects that are designed to: � Engage students where disciplines converge, including programs that meaningfully integrate science, technology, mathematics, and engineering (STEM) subjects as well as other disciplines such as Career and Technical Education (CTE), arts & humanities. � Designing innovative remote learning experiences to teach literacy, mathematics, computer science, and/or other CTE courses. � Develop partnerships or consortia approaches to implement education and outreach programs with a holistic approach to understanding real-world applications. � Fill gaps in schools that lack necessary infrastructure through innovative programming and/or novel interventions to address student achievement gaps in any curricular subject. OR progress World Languages for military-connected student through one on the following: 1) Establish and implement programs that showcase a meaningful integration of world language(s) across subject areas. Projects under this scope would include world language immersion or partial world language immersion of any of the languages included on the DoD SLL (Appendix D) and/or ASL. 2) Establish and implement an exploratory pilot program that seeks to create new world language experiences for students. For example, this type of project may link native speakers of languages other than English within the LEA with the target schools in order to promote two-way language learning. The language used for this scope must be included on the DoD SLL (Appendix D) and/or ASL. 3) Improve or expand content-based instruction in the target school�s current world language program of one or more of the languages included on the DoD SLL (Appendix D) and/or ASL. 4) Effectively use technology, such as computer-assisted instruction or distance (virtual) learning, to establish or expand course offerings of one or more world languages included on the DoD SLL (Appendix D) and/or ASL.
